The other day, Dad and I found a spring. It is a small three-inch hole in the ground at the base of our property. We found the spring while digging holes for gates for the fence. We had to dig trenches because of constant flooding in the area. Because the spring has not stopped flowing, even in the summer drought we had, the area was still flooded. The spring is spitting out salamanders (I managed to catch one), bull frogs and crayfish that are all trying to hibernate in the mud. The fact that it has barely gotten above freezing is not helping the animals. The crayfish was found last April, while moving into our house, it was in the middle of our field!
